The Classics at Brantwyn

The Classics at Brantwyn
Brunch, Blues, and Hot Cars

Sunday October 1, 2017 – 11 am
Brantywn Estate
600 Rockland Road, Wilmington DE

The Classics at Brantwyn is an event centered on beautiful and historic automobiles from the beginning of the 20th century to the present. It is not your typical car show – rather we like to describe it as a great social event and party that happens to have some magnificent automobiles on display. Held on the exquisite grounds of the Brantwyn Estate (formerly a DuPont family residence), the event features an open bar, gourmet brunch catered by the DuPont Country Club, and musical entertainment along with the magnificent cars.

A Grand Parade onto the Brantwyn grounds kicks off the main event at 11:00 am. Each car pauses in front of the mansion to be introduced to the guests who are sipping “Lamborghini Bellinis”. The cars proceed to assigned spots in the garden at the rear of the mansion and remain on display while the guests enjoy brunch, drinks, and chatting with the car owners.

Voting for “People’s Choice” award concludes the event at 2:30 pm. This signature automobile event attracts more than 250 guests and car owners, and has received rave reviews from both exotic and classic car owners.

Prior to the Grand Parade, strolling musicians mingle with the crowd. The Terry Klinefelter Quartet entertains with upbeat jazz and blues selections during brunch and for the remainder of the afternoon.
Tickets: $95
Tables of 10 may be reserved.

What is a Paper Chase?
 
A paper chase is an organized equestrian event where a group of people, usually in teams of 4 or less, horseback ride on an unknown trail. The trail is “pre-marked” by the paper chase organizers. Markers can range from actual colored paper or signs affixed to trees and other land marks to cones or brightly colored tape.  Typically there are short and long courses consisting of approximately 3 or 6-7 miles of trail which can include jumps, small creeks, wooded and open fields. The Concord Township Historical Society Paper Chase for History also includes trivia questions posed to riders to gain additional points and possibly win ribbons (for average times).
 
Riders complete registration forms and waiver agreements and are assigned a number and start time. There are check points throughout the trail to assure completeness of course and safety for all, especially at road crossings.
